CCG believes there is a different structure and a different approach than simply selling your practice to the hospital or remaining in an integration that hasn’t met your professional goals.
They think that integrated, multi-specialty group practices are the engines that will drive quality healthcare in the next decades. Building a group practice begins with establishing a broad primary care base and adding key specialists. CCG is targeting mid-size metropolitan areas where assembling 100 physicians in a multispecialty practice can exert real market strength and durability. The models of great healthcare exist today and are largely built upon group practices – at Mayo and Cleveland Clinics, at Kaiser Permanente, and at Geisinger. CCG is committed to the belief that the great systems of the next decade won’t be built by hospital companies or insurers but will be built by physicians working together.
Hospital administrators run hospitals. Doctors run group practices. Financial managers run insurance companies. Doctors will manage population health.
